The ASTD Big question this month is an annual question: What did you learn about learning in 2009? So one of the tasks I will do to answer this question is to see what posts were the Best of 2009 from several different sources. This posting is some of that advice that've found to be effective.

Not sure I can capture these differences effectively - it's just a "feel" right now. But, I didn't feel like we arrived at the next level of questions nearly as well as a discussion group might have. Certainly, some of the questions raised that I remember: What's a learning professional?

This month's ASTD Big Question is, again, a series of questions. Apparently one BIG question is not enough for the learning and development community. We aim to exceed expectations. I constantly have a "to-learn" list.

This month, I worked with Tony Karrer to help create the ASTD Big Question (which always seems to be multiple questions under one big theme.) The main question is Learning design differences for Digital Natives? Use technology when it improves learning and don't use it when it doesn't.

Brent Schlenker in his response to the ASTD Big Question asks , Well, I think the biggest question is STILL, "Why US?". Maybe the question is "Do we still add value to the new learning equation? It is effective regardless of the technology. The medium is NOT the message. will always be a tie.

The ASTD Learning Circuits Blog (moderated by Tony Karrer) poses a monthly "Big Question" and asks learning professionals to share their insights on key topics. The Big Question for this past December was "What did you learn about learning in 2010?" Two of the contributions really resonated with me.

Wouldnt it be revealing to quiz learners 15 minutes into a learning experience with one question: List 3 of the x learning objectives listed at the beginning of class. I sat in on a couple of Michael Allens sessions at ASTD 2007 and when he advised us to spare our learners from learning objectives, it really surprised me.

To be fair to Saul, he points us to some important numbers from the ASTD State of the Industry Report: Despite a steady climb in the availability of e-learning, the overall percentage of instructor-led training is nearly unchanged: 71.97 Once you go beyond formal learning, then there's an immediate question of what else you will provide.

The cost of "trial and error experimentation" while a non-degreed designer figures out how to design effective instruction within an organization is too high a price for the field to pay. Additionally, the goal of instructional design (and this part addresses ASTD's January Big Question ) is to change behavior or attitude.
